Horseshoe Bend Float Campground

Horseshoe Bend Float Camp is a primitive, boat-access-only campground on the Eleven Point National Scenic River with 5 campsites equipped with fire rings and lantern posts, accessible only by river from the McDowell put-in upstream or Whitten take-out downstream.

The camp offers no modern amenities—no potable water, no trash facilities, and no fees—making it ideal for self-sufficient paddlers and anglers seeking a remote wilderness experience.

Be prepared for ticks, bring all necessary water and supplies, and pack out all trash; quiet hours are 10 p. m. to 6 a. m.
